>A guitar destroyed by Kurt Russell's character was not a prop but an antique 1870s Martin guitar loaned by the Martin Guitar Museum. According to sound producer Mark Ulano, the guitar was supposed to have been switched with a copy to be destroyed, but this was not communicated to Russell; everyone on the set was "pretty freaked out" at the guitar's destruction, and Leigh's reaction was genuine, though "Tarantino was in a corner of the room with a funny curl on his lips, because he got something out of it with the performance." Museum director Dick Boak said that the museum was not told that the script included a scene that called for a guitar being smashed, and determined that it was irreparable. The insurance remunerated the purchase value of the guitar. As a result of the incident, the museum will no longer loan guitars to film productions.

Leigh's "whoa whoa whoa!!" is so genuine I love it.

I always thought she broke out of character a little in that moment and now I know why.
What a fucking great movie that was, man.

you know back in my day trolling meant something
Antiques are mostly literally worthless besides their collectable market value
That guitar is actually interesting now that its been destroyed in such a way.
>>83722892
please elaborate
why did they have the original in the first place? Just use the copy for the whole scene. nobody would know the difference. This sounds like a made up story
Based Tarantella keeping the authenticity high.

>worthless besides their market value
does not compute
>>83722941
prolly because Tarantino is a massive autist who wants everything to be exactly like it should be in his mind or he freaks the fuck out
you know, just like us
>>83722941
Well they were playing it so I imagine partly it was to have an authentic sound regardless of if people would notice or not. Tons of directors put autistic amounts of attention to things that people won't notice. I'm sure there are plenty of other movies that use period era props if possible.
haha epic
